vagus nerve -> superior laryngeal nerve

**The INTERNAL branch of the SNL is larger of the terminal branches supplying Sensory fibers to the Laryngeal Mucous Membrane including the superior surface of the Vocal Cords. **The EXTERNAL branch of the SLN provides motor function to the Cricothyroid Muscles. and extrinsic muscles

Understand the differences among the true, false and floating ribs

**True (vertebrosternal) ribs (1st-7th ribs): They attach directly to the sternum through their own costal cartilages. - False (vertebrochondral) ribs (8th, 9th, and usually 10th ribs): Their cartilages are connected to the cartilage of the rib above them; so, they have an indirect connection with the sternum. -Floating (vertebral, free) ribs (11th, 12th, and sometimes 10th ribs): The cartilages of these ribs do not connect at all, not even indirectly with the sternum; instead, they end in the posterior abdominal musculature.

Learn the elements of the sternum and pertinent landmarks such as notches and angles.

- ** The easily palpated concave center of the superior border of the manubrium is called the jugular notch (or suprasternal notch). BLUE ARROW. - The notch is deepened by the medial (sternal) ends of the clavicles. - Inferolateral to the clavicular notch, the costal cartilage of the 1st rib is tightly attached to the lateral border of the manubrium. - The manubrium and body of the sternum lie in slightly different planes superior and inferior to their junction, forming a projection known as the sternal angle (angle of Louis). BLUE STAR - The body of the sternum is longer, narrower, and thinner than the manubrium, and is located at the level of the T5-T9 vertebrae. - The xiphoid process, the smallest part of the sternum, and is thin and elongated. Its inferior end lies at the level of T10 vertebra.

Determine what constitutes the functional anatomical division and zones of the respiratory system.

- **The conducting zone of the respiratory system includes the organs and structures NOT directly involved in gas exchange. - ** The major functions of the conducting zone are to provide a route for incoming and outgoing air, remove debris and pathogens from the incoming air, and warm and humidify the incoming air. - Several structures within the conducting zone perform other functions as well. The epithelium of the nasal passages, for example, is essential to sensing odors, and the bronchial epithelium that lines the lungs can metabolize some airborne carcinogens. The main bronchus divides into lobar (2nd-order) bronchi, each of which then divides into segmental (3rd-order) bronchi. The portion of lung supplied by a third-order bronchus is known as a bronchopulmonary segment. Each main, or primary bronchus divides into secondary lobar bronchi, two on the left and 3 lobes on the right side. Each lobar bronchus further subdivides into several tertiary segmental bronchi that supply the bronchopulmonary segments **The main function of the bronchi, like other conducting zone structures, is to provide a passageway for air to move into and out of each lung. In addition, the mucous membrane traps debris and pathogens.

There are 11 intercostal spaces and

- 11 intercostal nerves. - The Subcostal space is the space below the 12th rib bc it does not lie between ribs.

Know which muscles are active during inspiration, expiration

- Activation of medulla causes a contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles leading to an expansion of thoracic cavity and a decrease in the pleural space pressure - EXPIRATION: Expiration is a passive event due to elastic recoil of the lungs. - However, when a great deal of air has to be removed quickly, as in exercise, or when the airways narrow excessively during expiration, as in asthma, the internal intercostal muscles and the anterior abdominal muscles contract and accelerate expiration by raising pleural pressure. Inspiration: rib muscles contract (rib cage expends), diaphragm contracted (move down) Expiration: rib muscles relax (rib cage contracts), diaphragm relaxed (move up)

Respiratory Zone

- In contrast to the conducting zone, the respiratory zone includes structures that are directly involved in gas exchange. - The respiratory zone begins where the terminal bronchioles join a respiratory bronchiole, the smallest type of bronchiole, which then leads to an alveolar duct, opening into a cluster of alveoli. - Each respiratory bronchiole gives rise to 2-11 alveolar ducts, each of which gives rise to 5-6 alveolar sacs. To Recap: - The respiratory zone, where gas exchange occurs, is the alveolated region of the lung includes respiratory bronchioles (divided from terminal bronchioles and have only occasional alveoli on their walls) and alveolar ducts (completely lined with alveoli). - The distance from the terminal bronchiole to the distal alveolus is only a few mm, but the respiratory zone makes up most of the lung, its volume being about 2.5 to 3 L.

Describe the components of the pleural cavity

- Pleura is a Greek word that literally means 'side of the body.' - Today, it describes the two thin membranes known as the visceral and parietal pleurae that surround the lungs - The pleural cavity is the potential space between these two membranes that is created when the serous pleura covers the lung and folds back upon itself, to form a two-layered membranous pleural sac. a small pouch or air pocket. Parietal pleura parts: Cervical, costal, diaphragmatic, mediastinal

Analyze the area of the lungs where disease is likely detected on a chest film

- The 2 types of pleural recesses are: COSTODIAPHRAGMATIC (between costal & diaphragmatic pleurae→ most inferior region of pleural cavity,-FREQUENT SITE FOR FLUID ACCUMULATION or PNA) & COSTOMEDIASTINAL recess is between costal & mediastinal pleurae, located adjacent & posterior to sternum; only one location

how the curves change after birth

-In embryos, the spinal cord occupies the whole length of the vertebral canal -During the fetal period, the vertebral column grows faster than the spinal cord; as a result, the cord "ascends" relative to the vertebral canal. -At birth, the tip of the conus medullaris is at the L4-L5 level. Thus, in postnatal life, the spinal cord is shorter than the vertebral column. -The spinal cord typically ends at L1, but in 10% of the population it extends past L2.

-blood flow to the thoraco-lumbar and sacra cord require additional collateral-in-flow

-sacral arteries provide adequate flow to the sacral and lower lumbar regions. -thoracic and upper lumbar areas get their flow from variable collateral sources. - The aorta gives rise to the posterior intercostal artery which supplies the anterior and posterior radicular arteries -The circulation to much of the spinal cord depends on segmental medullary and radicular arteries running along the spinal nerve roots.

The veins of the spinal cord

-the veins that drain the spinal cord, as well as internal vertebral venous plexuses, drain into the intervertebral veins, which in turn drain into segmental veins. -In general, the veins of the spinal cord have a distribution similar to that of the spinal arteries. -There are usually three anterior and three posterior spinal veins. -The veins of the spinal cord join the internal vertebral (epidural) venous plexuses in the epidural space.

7, The first cervical vertebrae (C1) is known as the atlas. The second cervical vertebrae (C2) is known as the axis.

The Typical ribs (3rd-9th) have the following components:

A Head: wedge-shaped and has two facets, one facet for articulation with the numerically corresponding vertebra and one facet for the vertebra superior to it. - A Neck: connects the head of the rib with the body at the level of the tubercle. - A Tubercle: located at the junction of the neck and body; - A Body (shaft): thin, flat, and curved. The concave internal surface of the body has a costal groove paralleling the inferior border of the rib, which provides some protection for the intercostal nerve and vessels.

Epistaxis

Atlas

It differs from the other cervical vertebrae in that it has no vertebral body and no spinous process. Instead, the atlas has lateral masses which are connected by an anterior and posterior arch

Azygos Vein: Posterior to Esophagus, to the right of the Thoracic Duct

It is an alternate route for the return of venous blood to the heart, rather than through the inferior vena cava. •Intercostal veins empty into the azygos system, from both left and right (via Hemiazygos system) sides. •Azygos vein connects to the inferior vena cava at the level of the kidneys. - Hemiazygos Vein System: Posterior to the descending Aorta on the left side of the vertebral column. •It drains the left intercostal veins. •It drains into the Azygos Vein. The azygos vein is a vein running up the right side of the thoracic vertebral column draining itself towards the superior vena cava. It connects the systems of superior vena cava and inferior vena cava and can provide an alternative path for blood to the right atrium when either of the venae cava is blocked.

Due to the rich blood supply of the nose, this is a common occurrence.It will most likely occur in the anterior third of the nasal cavity - this area is known as the

Kiesselbach area or Littles area. The cause can be local (such as trauma), or systemic (such as hypertension).

It divides the neck into anterior and lateral cervical regions The SCM can be made to stand out by asking the person to rotate the face toward the contralateral side and elevate the chin

The pharynx is comprised of three parts

Nasopharynx Oropharynx Laryngopharynx.

Nerves of the face: Trigeminal nerve

Ophthalmic: supplies sensory fibers to the lacrimal gland, eyelids, ciliary muscle, nose, forhead, and adjoining parts: External nasal nerve Maxillary nerve: transmits sensory fibers from the maxillary teeth, the skin between the palpebral fissure and the month, and from the nasal cavity and sinuses. Mandibular nerve: supplies sensory fibers to the lower jaw, the lower teeth and supplies motor fibers to the muscles of mastication. Mental nerve

The vertebral column has four main functions:

Protection - encloses and protects the spinal cord within the spinal canal. Support - carries the weight of the body above the pelvis. Axis - forms the central axis of the body. Movement - has roles in both posture and movement.

5 Structures that make up the Hilum

Pulmonary artery, Bronchus, Pulmonary veins, Nerves and Lymphatics The pulmonary alveolus is the basic structural unit of gas exchange in the lung. Due to the presence of the alveoli, the respiratory bronchioles are involved both in air transportation and gas exchange.

vertebral arch

Spinous processes - Transverse processes - each vertebra has two, which extend laterally and posteriorly from the vertebral body. In the thoracic vertebrae, the transverse processes articulate with the ribs. Pedicles - connect the vertebral body to the transverse processes. Lamina - connect the transverse and spinous processes. Articular processes - form joints between one vertebra and its superior and inferior counterparts. The articular processes are located at the intersection of the laminae and pedicles.

The anterior triangle is situated at the front of the neck. It is bounded

Superiorly - inferior border of the mandible (jawbone). Laterally - anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid. Medially - sagittal line down the midline of the neck.

axis

The axis (C2) is easily identifiable due to its dens (odontoid process) which extends superiorly from the anterior portion of the vertebra.

Identify the vessels that form a collateral pathway between major veins

The azygos vein is a vein running up the right side of the thoracic vertebral column draining itself towards the superior vena cava. It connects the systems of superior vena cava and inferior vena cava and can provide an alternative path for blood to the right atrium when either of the venae cava is blocked.

Carotid Triangle

The carotid triangle of the neck has the following boundaries: Superior - posterior belly of the digastric muscle. Lateral - medial border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Inferior - superior belly of the omohyoid muscle. The main contents of the carotid triangle are the common carotid artery (which bifurcates within the carotid triangle into the external and internal carotid arteries), the internal jugular vein, and the hypoglossal and vagus nerves.

List the elements that are included within the osteocartilaginous thoracic cage

The osteocartilaginous thoracic cage includes the sternum, 12 pairs of ribs and costal cartilages, and 12 thoracic vertebrae and intervertebral discs. The clavicles and scapulae form the pectoral (shoulder) girdle.

Determine the origin and function of the phrenic nerve

The phrenic nerve is a mixed motor/sensory nerve which originates from the C3, C4, C5 spinal nerves in the neck. - The nerve is important for breathing because it provides exclusive motor control of the diaphragm, the primary muscle of respiration.

Compare the differences of the right and left bronchus and lobes of the lungs?

The right lung is divided into upper, middle, and lower lobes by an oblique and a horizontal fissure. - The left lung is divided into upper and lower lobes by an oblique fissure.

Discuss the curves of the vertebral column and

The thoracic and sacral kyphosis (singular = kyphosis) are concave anteriorly the cervical and lumbar lordosis (singular = lordosis) are concave posteriorly. Lordosis is an exaggerated increase in the lumbar curve. Caused by obesity, pregnancy, disk degeneration, congenital defects

Both Phrenic Nerves

They run anterior to the roots of the lungs Phrenic Nerves Both originate from the Nerve roots: Anterior rami C3, C4, C5. Keeps the diaphragm alive. Both Phrenic Nerves are more lateral than the Vagus nerves. As the only source of motor innervation to the diaphragm, this nerve has an important role in breathing. -- Motor functions: Innervates the diaphragm. Sensory functions: Innervates the central part of the diaphragm, the pericardium and the mediastinal part of the parietal pleura

The cervical vertebrae have three main features which distinguish them from other vertebrae:

Triangular vertebral foramen. Bifid spinous process - this is where the spinous process splits into two distally. Transverse foramina - holes in the transverse processes. They give passage to the vertebral artery, vein and sympathetic nerves.

The thoracic vertebrae have four features which distinguish them from other vertebrae:

Vertebral body is heart shaped. Presence of demi-facets on the sides of each vertebral body - these articulate with the heads of the ribs. Presence of costal facets on the transverse processes - these articulate with the tubercles of the ribs. They are present on T1-T10 only. The spinous processes are long and slant inferiorly. This offers increased protection to the spinal cord, preventing an object such as a knife entering the spinal canal.

Describe the functions of the nose

Warm, humidified, and filter The nose serves as the only means of bringing warm humidified air into the lungs. ** It is the primary organ for filtering out particles in the inspired air, and it also serves to provide first-line immunologic defense by bringing inspired air in contact with mucous-coated membranes that contain immunoglobulin A (IgA).

Cricothyroid

muscle stretches and tenses the vocal ligaments, and so is important for the creation of forceful speech. It also has a role in altering the tone of voice (along with the thyroarytenoid muscle), AKA 'singer's muscle'.

during intubation, if the ETT is advanced too far past the vocal cords, then it can go

past the carina and easily placed in the Right Mainstem Bronchi. You will see unequal chest rise, diminished lung sounds on the left, and O2 sats will begin to lower bc of unequal, one-sided ventilation. The ETT is too deep and will need to be withdrawn .

what does the larynx do

respiration, vocalization, protection ** Although most commonly known for its role as the phonating mechanism for voice production, its most vital function is to guard and **PROTECT the air passages, especially during swallowing when it serves as the "sphincter" or "valve" of the lower respiratory tract, thus maintaining a patent airway.
